OCR has definitely not "been solved long time ago", what are you talking about?

In your opinion, what is SOTA here?

Follow-up. I in fact suspect that either she is a bot, or she is using an LLM to spew out papers. She uploads about one paper per month to Zenodo, and they all seem very AI generated.

The paper under discussion:

https://zenodo.org/records/17720178

Note that Zenodo is a DOI-provider, not a (scientific) journal. Anyone can upload anything to Zenodo. It's less strict than arXiv.

Edit: The "paper" is written by one Hiroko Konishi, an independent researcher (she is a voice actress).

The vector of hours what?

If the seahorse emoji is introduced, we will have to train new foundation models. The costs connected to the introduction of the seahorse emoji will be in the billions.

3.9.2: no piece can be moved if that exposes or leaves its own king in check.

Well, if a piece is pinned it's illegal to move it.

Rule 3.9.2: No piece can be moved that will either expose the king of the same colour to check or leave that king in check.

> I've left this one to the bonus section because I've never used set operations on Counters and I'm finding it extremely hard to think of a use case for xor specifically. But I do appreciate the devs adding it for completeness.

because success comes from reproducing a memorized pattern rather than transferable reasoning?

At the same time failure proves little because most humans also could not manually create a correct SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle.

What is it exactly that such a test is testing?

In which situation would you measure the "competence" of a human being by asking them to write an SVG of a pelican riding a bicycle?

They flare to quickly burn off excess gases as a safety mechanism rather than anything else. Venting gas into the air would be much worse.

Well, the guitar has a finite number of strings and each string is partition into a finite number of frets. It's definitely not more than, say, 30^6 ~ 729 million.

That said, common chords are A, B, C, D, E, F, G (and their sharps and flats), combined with either major or minor mode. Hence "C, G, F, Am, Em" is an example of what someone could play. Now, of course, if it doesn't sound exactly like a G, perhaps it's a G7? After some practice, you can even hear, by the sound of the strings, exactly which chord it is. Em, G, and D are particularly simple to recognize.

I use .ag and it's YAML-inspired. I have incorporated ideas from Design by contract: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46554477

I have developed my personal agentic file format `.ag` for this purpose.

Here is the template I start with:

    #!/usr/bin/env gpt-agent
     
    input: <target/context (e.g., cwd)>
     
    task: |
      <one clear objective>
     
    output: |
      <deliverables + required format>
     
    require:
      - <must be true before start; otherwise stop + report>
     
    invariant:
      - <must stay true while working (scope + safety)>
     
    ensure:
      - <must be true at the end (definition of done)>
     
    rescue: |
      <what to do if any requirement/invariant/ensure cannot be met>

While they only had positive samples, the AIs sometimes reported cancer in the wrong location, meaning a double whammy: It failed to detect the cancer, and misdiagnosed a non-cancer.

From the paper:

> Two cancers had abnormality scores greater than 10 but were not correctly localized and were therefore categorized as AI-missed.

Yes, but it seems strange to claim that i^i isn't anything. That just completely ignores what's interesting, namely that i(π/2 + 2πk) is real for all k ∈ Z.

Is your argument that complex powers isn't anything?
